“We can’t force people to buy umoo-made materials, but
baseball, the American game, should be
certainly dq think
buying in America,” complains Jui*-Isaacson. president of
the International Toymakers’ Union
The baseball brouhaha is only the latest development in
a problem that has long concerned other US industries
Specialty steel, electronics and textile workers, for ex-
ample, face similar challenges from cheaper foreign im-
ports. One of the most serious situations is in the shoe in-
dustry. ,
' In 1967, there were 675 U.S. firms producing footwear in
some 1,000 plants. Today the number is SO firms operating
about 750 plants. Employment has failed from 233,000 to
only 163,000 — a loss of 70,000 jobs.
Over approximately the same period the foreign share of
^ the U.S. shoe market has more than doubled, from 215 per
cent in 1968 to 45.7 per cent in 1976.
According to Mark Richardson, president of the
American Footwear Industries Aswriathn, unemploy-
ment in the shoe industry, which is running at about IS per
cent, will rise even more unless President Cuter approves
a proposal of the U.S. International ftade Commission
The ITC recommends that the United States permit 270
/< million pairs of cheap foreign shoes, chiefly from South
Korea, Taiwan and Brazil, to enter the country at the pre-
■ sent 10 per cent duty. Above this number, the duty on this
type of shoe would jump to 30 per cent
The ITC report has presented the Carter administration
with a dilemma. If the President goes along with the
recommendation, he could saveatJantllyMjfchiMre
than 30 states, say industry spokesmen. But if be approves
stiff tariffs and quotas on the ever-rising flood of cheap
foreign shoes, there is a chance be might slow down world
economic recovery and invite retaliation against U.S. 1
products.
On the one hand, people are losing their jobs, and whittl-
ing down the unemployment rate js a major goal of the
President. But on the other hand, Americans would be

The bureau printed 415 mUfioo of them but has been able
to get only 222 million in circulation.

Dear Editor: “
A recent letter regarding the
matter of whether to teach both
evolution and creation in the
schools held the mistaken belief
that evolution is only scientific
and creation is only a religious
doctrine. '. ,
Our years of carelessly allow-
ing textbooks at all grade levels
to teach evolutionary “assump-
tions” in . a dogmatic way that
makes them “appear as facts”
has perpetuated this common
misunderstanding.
The front of many textbooks
will state that "Evolution in this
book is pre&nted as a theory.”
But, is it really? ,.
For example, a second grade
primary reader used in Baytown,
“Going Places, Seeing People,”
has a story stating:
“Millions of years ago, whales,,
lived .on land. They had two
pairs of legs for walking and
running . . whales’ changed,
too, and they began to live in the
sea. This happened so very long
ago that we don’t know when or
why the whale changed from a
land animal tola sea animal.
“In time, the whale lost its
pair of Jback legs. The two front
legs changed. The front let now

half-whale, half-land animal

but does a second grader reading
this story understand this is only
a “theory,” or does this become
“fact” in his unsuspecting mind?
Such careless handling of
evolutionary hypothesis and
theories as “facts” has so
permeated all disciplines qf our
entire educational system and
!. society that we now have large
numbers of people (even unofc
jective scientists) who are totally
unable to separate fact from the
towers of assumptions.
The very nature of science re-
quires that any discussion of a
theory must include both the
“pro” and the “con.” This prin-
ciple has been' completely ig-
nored by evolutionists who have-
tried to screen the scientific data
reaching the general public and
students so that only the careful-
ly selected evidence to support
their dogma is .revealed.
This issue of whether or not to
teach creation and evolution in
the classroom is not religion ver-
sus science, but is one scientific
model versus another scientific
••• model.
Christians need not be afraid
to have a creation model ex-
amined with respect to scientific
data because a creation model is
actually nftore compatible with
all the scientific evidence at
present.
A creation model can be (and
should be) taught without
quoting from the Bible, for the
theological discussions should be
.* left to the home and the church
with the school only dealing with
the scientific aspects of the
model.
Each model I . (creation,
evolution) should be objectively
presented and checked to see
how it explains the total body of
known scientific data. ’■
Some states have already pass-
ed legislation ruling that both
creation and evolution should be -
taught equally, if either is •
taught, since both are scientific
theories held by many and since t
neither is subject to scientific
. proof but must ultimately he
accepted on faith. Shouldn’t- we
as Texans be looking into this
and asking ourselves:
1) Why aren’t our schools
teaching that the scientific
of only one theory of origins, es-
pecially since the all the scien-
tific evidence and has at least
equal capacity to explain obser-
vational data.

Dear Sir:
I am sure that thee are legiti-
mate reasons for the,(fiscon-
tinuation of any course in the
school district and that these
reasons, as well as the contro-
versial course itself, are thor-
oughly analyzed before any de-
cisions are made.
Howeyer, I do feel it neces-
sary, at this time, to voice an
individual opinion concerning

yet they have pipelines into the

moment, they may be operating
as fixers without portfolio in be-
half of high-paying clients. The
next, they may be handling some
White House assignment too
delicate to be performed by any-
one in official position.
Of The Insiders, none is more
-pm# more charming or
more durable than is Clark Clif-
ford. He isalways gracious to the
press, always self-assured,
always quietly competent.
He has a rare talent for re-
maining in the background of
the news, directing politicians as
though they were acton on his
stage and allowing them to take
1 the bows. Perhaps it is this qual-
ity that has helped him endure
through the administrations of
four presidents - more than a
quarter-century at the pinnacle.
Lyndon Johnson called him
“Just-A-Minute Clifford,".with
the explanation: "At the end of
the discussion, when we think
we’re all agreed, Clark will say,
‘Now just a minute.’ ” Clifford
has never been afraid to say no
to presidents, anti he has the
ability to put things in perspec-
tive and view them without emo-
tion.
With the election of Jimmy
Carter, Clifford has resumed his
quiet role as Mr. Insider. He has
been offering advise to his fifth
president so unobtrusively that
almost no one has noticed. At
tMs wiling, he is on a mission in
the Mediterranean for the presi-
dent He will apply his spe-
cial soothing salve on the anta-
.gonists in the Cyprus wrangle. If
anyone can bring home a settle-
ment, Clifford should.
The pressing demands of pub-
lic service, meanwhile, have left
him with time to turn a dollar.
Clifford is, of course, tight-
lipped about his legal fees. Yet
he has one of the most lucrative
practices in Washington.
In both performance and re-
muneration, Clifford has long
ranked at the top of the special ‘
pleaders, who play all the angles
of tiie federal triangle.
But Washington abounds with
lesser hustlers, fixers and five-
percenters. The energy crisis has
brought them swarming into
Washington like prospectors to a ”
. gold rush. The Federal Energy
Administration is charged with
protecting the public frorq the
more larcenous manipulators.
The agency’s secret files contain
a multitude of energy scandals,

was very interesting and 1
sure learned a lot about losing
weight. You have finally con-
vinced me that the way to lose
weight is to take hr fearer
calories than your body uses
I am 20 years old. 5 feet 2.

want to lose five pounds. It is
verj^hard for me tolose when
I eat only 800 calories a day,

I have to watch everything I
eat so I don’t get back to 130

can eat anything and
everything he wants without
putting on a pound. He tells
me if I woyld get some exer-
cise I could do the same thing.
But how much more exercise
do I need to get?
As you can tell I am very
discouraged. I’ve been trying
to get these last five pounds*

will be a washout of water and
your weight will drop.
